Chapter 183: Chapter 182: We Will Do The Same in The Future (Monthly Tickets 805+)
However, thinking of Xia Chunrong, he felt it would be better to let Xia Chunrong take Gao Jiaxing out for a stroll when the time came. If he took Gao Jiaxing out, it would actually be more troublesome.
"Let’s go, let’s head back," Xia Xiao felt tired as well.
Soon, Xia Xiao returned to her grandmother’s house, having thoroughly explored the nearby area, she was indeed exhausted and fell asleep quickly as soon as she touched the bed.
Not long after Xia Xiao had fallen asleep, Gao Jiaxing woke up. Although the rest had been comfortable, he felt embarrassed to sleep for too long.
So, Gao Jiaxing left the room and saw Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia in the vegetable garden, the elderly couple staying busy tending to the garden since they had nothing else to do at home.
They used to often visit and chat with the neighbors, but with the scandal involving Xia Jianguo and Zhao Xiaolan, the Xia family had been the subject of ridicule, and with the austere atmosphere outside, Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia had been staying at home, barely venturing out.
Gao Jiaxing glanced at the tightly closed door next to him and didn’t want to disturb Xia Xiao’s sleep yet he couldn’t stand just lying around in the room anymore.
So, Gao Jiaxing headed toward the vegetable garden and politely called out, "Grandpa, Grandma."
"Jiaxing, why don’t you sleep a bit more," Mrs. Xia said.
Gao Jiaxing smiled, "I’ve slept quite a bit already," he said as he squatted down to help pull weeds and catch bugs.
"Jiaxing, how is Xiaoxiao doing at the production team?" Mrs. Xia asked, previously when she spoke with Gao Jiaxing she had been fishing for his background, but now she was even keener to find out from Gao Jiaxing how Xia Xiao was doing at the production team.
Although Old Man Xia didn’t speak, his actions had paused, and his ears perked up.
Gao Jiaxing then shared with Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia about Xia Xiao’s experiences in the production team, though his hands didn’t stop working. After all, he was used to working in the production team, so as he pulled weeds and caught bugs, he chatted with Old Man Xia and Mrs. Xia, and time passed by second by second.
In the room, Xia Xiao had a very sweet sleep, maybe feeling secure back at her grandmother’s house, so she didn’t wake up until the late afternoon.
"Oh my, I’ve slept for so long," Xia Xiao exclaimed as she stepped out and saw the sky.
By now, Gao Jiaxing, Old Man Xia, and Mrs. Xia had already tended to the garden, hearing Xia Xiao’s voice, Mrs. Xia teased, "Oh dear, whose little sleepyhead slept till this late? The sun is about to set."
Xia Xiao chuckled, "I’m a hardworking little bee, just knowing the sun is about to set, I woke up to cook and prepare dinner."
Mrs. Xia waved, "Oh please, you sit down with Jiaxing, I’ll prepare dinner."
"Grandma, let me do it," Xia Xiao said, feeling bad for letting her elderly grandmother tire herself out.
"Let me do it today. It’s just a few of us having dinner, but after tomorrow I won’t cook," Mrs. Xia said.
Xia Xiao was about to help out when she saw her grandfather had also followed them into the kitchen.
Gao Jiaxing commented, "Grandpa and Grandma’s relationship is really good." In his view, his parents’ relationship was also fine, but his dad never quite helped out his mom like this in the kitchen.
"Yes," Xia Xiao nodded, her grandparents did have a great relationship. Then she heard Gao Jiaxing whisper, "Let’s be like that as well, I’ll treat you well."
Xia Xiao glanced at Gao Jiaxing, nodded, and thought that only time would tell.
When a man chases a woman, which one doesn’t behave nicely otherwise, or the woman won’t marry him? Many men change after marriage or when they reach middle age with careers and wealth established. At that time, their hearts become the most inflated. Even if the wives at home are still beautiful and have a good temperament, the passion fades over time, love diminishes, and it feels like the left hand holding the right hand without sensation.
Outside, everything seems fresh, and when young and beautiful girls throw themselves at them, many men can’t resist the temptation.
Some men choose to keep the red flag flying at home while having ’colorful flags’ fluttering outside.
Some men would abandon their wives at home and start a new family with a younger and fresher woman.
Some choose to secretly cheat on their wives...
It could be said that any situation existed, but Xia Xiao still believed that there were good men in the world, she also believed in the existence of love, and believed that love could be preserved.
Marriage also needed to be nurtured, empathy required, and some effort needed reciprocation; no one would give unconditionally for life.
"Brother Gao, let my brother take you out tomorrow for a walk, I can’t go out with you," Xia Xiao said.
Gao Jiaxing thought about the situation outside, slightly regretful in his heart. He wanted to go out, but he was afraid of causing trouble for Xia Xiao’s family, so he replied, "No need, your brother is also very busy, and there isn’t much to go around now, there will be other opportunities in the future."
Xia Xiao suddenly thought of her conversation with Mrs. Xia, and moved her mouth to ask Gao Jiaxing if he would move to Shanghai with her in the future, but she ended up not asking.
Talking about this now was too early, people’s thoughts also changed, she was not returning to the city so quickly, and there was no need to mention it.
Before long, the grandparents had the dishes ready, Gao Jiaxing set the table and Xia Xiao wiped it; Gao Jiaxing went to wash the dishes, and Xia Xiao served them.
"Grandpa, Grandma, there’s even fish soup?" Xia Xiao said, surprised.
"Yes, your grandfather went out and bought a fish for soup. Last time, you made fish soup with pickles, which was appetizing. Your grandfather loved it and has had it several times," Mrs. Xia said, and gave Gao Jiaxing half a bowl of soup, "Jiaxing, try some too."
"Thank you, Grandma," Gao Jiaxing took it with both hands, sipped it with a spoon, and indeed the taste was very delicious, slightly sour but very tasty.
"Tasty," Gao Jiaxing nodded. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Mrs. Xia beamed and said, "It was all Xiaoxiao’s idea; this child is really clever and skillful."
Gao Jiaxing nodded fervently, "Xiaoxiao is wonderful, meeting her has been my fortune."
Xia Xiao could tell her grandmother really liked Gao Jiaxing. As for her grandfather, she didn’t notice much, but he didn’t show any disdain, which Xia Xiao felt was good enough.
Plus, her grandfather took the initiative to buy fish and even cooked with her grandma, Xia Xiao felt her grandfather also recognized Gao Jiaxing.
Originally, Xia Xiao was worried that her family would look down on Gao Jiaxing, just like most city people disdain the countryside, but seeing how Grandma and Grandpa acted, she felt she might have worried too much.
It’s just that her parents were supposed to come tomorrow, the grandparents’ barrier was crossed, but the parents’ hurdle was still uncertain.
"Xiaoxiao, eat quickly, what are you thinking about? You’re not even concentrating on your meal," Mrs. Xia served Xia Xiao some dishes.
Xia Xiao smiled awkwardly, "I was thinking about when mom, dad, and my younger siblings would come."
"They should arrive tomorrow," Mrs. Xia said, guessing that if it weren’t for the evening and inconvenient travel, her youngest son’s family would have already been here.
